Czi Mt galtjj gtftaratt. ASTORIA. OREGON: FRIDAY. JANUARY 2. 1837 Ax agricultural exchange says & profit of over $100 per acre may be realized from cucumbers. Two thirds of this profit, we suppose, is realized by the doctors who pre scribe for the achers. Mej? live and move in the pres ence ot some very curious things without giving a thought to their peculiar character unless their at tention is particularly called to it. One'of these things is the lawyer's fee. It is one of the few real talismans that have descended to this matter-of-fact age from the era of the mysterious. It is per haps the only power which will in vest a reputable member of society with the privilege of sinning with impunity. i And so the reapportionment bill in the legislature has got into "politics," which, in this case, means partisan littleness. It is a pity that justice cannot be done this and other sections of the state in the matter of fair representation without a squabble about the ef fect the new apportionment would hare on ,the political complexion of futura legislatures. The ap pearances are now that no reap portionment will be made. "Blessed is he that expecteth noth neth ing: for, verily, ho shall not be dis appointed." Nobody believes that there is much business ability in Congress, but how little there is would never be imagined were it not for the failuro of every attempt to secure a national bankruptcy bill. Such bill is opposed by two classes dishonest debtors and debtors1 lawyers- The latter can make more money by keeping settle ments in suspense and abeyance, and the debtors themselves do not relish the prospects of a law which would give their most distant cred itor as fair a chance as those at home, with whom a dishonest debtor may easily have an under standing. To oblige these two classes the prevailing uncertainty as to business settlements and credits must probably continue an other vear. Theee is a phase of woman's rights" which seems to escape the consideration it deserves, says the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph, and, that is the right of a young woman to remain single if she de sires to do so. The men do not challenge this right. It is ,her own sex which, urged by a variety of very subtle reasons, conspires to put a sort of stigma on women who have no inclination to matri mony, and by the opprobrous ep ithet of "old maid" force discern ing and fastidious women into unsuitable and unhappy marriages. A man is not abused for not tak ing a partner in business, nor does he suffer reproach because he fails to marry. A woman ought not by social pressure be urged into marriage when she has no desire that way, or has at least found no man to whom her judgment and affections alike incline. Ax English scientific journal enumerates the folio wing as among the inventions which are specially needed at the present time: Macaroni machinery, good red lead pencil, type writers that will work on account books and record books, ndelible stamp canceling ink, a practical car starter, a good rail way ven'ilator, better horseshoes, locomotive headlights, an instru ment for measuring the velocity of wind currents, apparatus for meas uring the depth of the sea without sounding by line, piano lid hinges which shall be flush on the out side, good fluid India ink for draughtsmen, a good metallic rail way tie, an effective cutoff for lo comotives, a method of alloying copper and iron, a molding ma terial for iron and brass castings capable of giving a mold that can be used over and over again, a de Tict for telegraphing and tele- phoning without the use of local batteries, and a washing machine that will imitate hand washing more closely than anything now known. A patent cold steel finger nail to button shirtcuffs washed by a Chinaman, is also badly needed. Ben Perley Poore's Forthcoming Book. Sixty years of busy journalist's life at Washington aro epitomized in Maj. Ben. Perley Poore's forthcom ing book. One of the admirers of the Major recently said that "at a judiciuosly ripe period of life the major stoppea growing oia, ana since men, lifce some of the choice Madena of which he writes with so much feeling, he has only been accumulat ing houquet and flavor." Maj. roore has been one of the best known and one of the most knowing men in Wash ington society for a half a century. His' is the sunny temperament delighting in bright, social inter course. Yet his connection with daily journalism and his position in the U. S. Senate placed him always in the thick of political affairs and social gossip. He was ever in the Washington "Swim," breasting the waves with jovial vigor, and never failing to hear or see what was said and done. The Major could never be very solemn, and in his ripened sketches of Washington life every phase reminds him of half a dozen amusing anec dotes. He has a rare gift in telling a story, and his anecdotes are inex haustible. His book will not only add lustre to his fame as a writer, but is of so unique a character and so intensely interesting in matter that it will prove a valuable contribution to the literature of the country. It has mirth for the mirthful, wit for the witty, information for all, and we doubt if it has been equalled by any subscription book since the war. It is being issued by the well known house of A- L. Banorof t & Co., San Franoisoo, ChI., and sold ex clusively by subscription. Heart Disease!!!
